*rock bottoms himself*
MVP's paydirt and Saxton's shitty finish
Whos that chink who does a half assed clothesline?
zig zag has always looked like sloppy shit
more than that I can't fucking stand it when wrestlers have a signature move that's more devastating than their finisher
sami zayn, baron corbin, cesaro ie
like fuck OFF, your best move should be your finisher
There's a reason Big E almost never works singles matches.
If hed do it so the neck lands on his knees like it was a reverse codebreaker it would be based
Jesus christ, why did that guy do a full fucking flip from that
Neutralizer has the AA problem. On a big guy it's pretty based, but otherwise it's meh at best.
his uppercut is so fucking crisp.
The Styles Clash is literally this move but worse because they start closer to the floor. Absolute garbage that looks like it doesn't hurt (except for maybe hurting their knees) with a contrived setup to boot.
OH NO HE FELL 2 FEET ONTO HIS KNEES MAMA MIA
Based tho punch is the best and most realistic finisher, all punches should be finishers.
Also his actual finishing move was a thumb spike choke or a tiger driver
Because he's a shitter.
Nobody has kicked out of it yet so its works
Have to make a non finisher look like a finisher somehow
Not that he uses it, but No Way Jose just throws his opponent in the air and punches him. What's the point of throwing them in the air and why does he wind up a punch if he's just going to stop and pick up someone?
I think you're missing the part where a 220+lb man is putting his full weight on you
But I agree, always felt like the neutralizer was weak
because hes an opening match comedy jobber you fucking idiot
did you also wonder why santino walked so funny and carried a snake in his singlet
Lol mama mia
>lariats aren't finishers
Haha. Imagine if you were such an e drone that you didn't know who Kenny Omega was and had never seen a lariat before and didn't understand why someone would sell it the way lariats have been sold for 20 years in other promotions.
What a champion.
Holy seethe
>plebbit spacing
Post a pic of your jaw
Worked
i love okada but the rainmaker is so damn boring
if your finisher is just someone overselling the fuck out of the most basic move that literally everyone does, then maybe you should try something different. but that's just me being a bitter smark, it's actually over as fuck
Seek sunlight
Excuse me for no recognizing Kenny from just looking at his arse, like you do, faggot.
Fuming
Agree as well.. especially because Okada is not psychically imposing at all. Like if a big huge dude like Braun Stowman yanked you in and sledgehammered you with his massive arm, I'd buy it
But not Okada
>giant jacked meme man
>finisher is a swinging neckbreaker
Or the signature attire and pose that he used for several years before leaving Japan, wow who could have known.
Maybe in AEW and other flippy shit promotions hes considered giant
physically* excuse my drinking
Found the virgin.
That isn't the rainmaker though. It's just rainmaketty, the short arm clothesline he often does several times per match. The actual rainmaker with the spin is the most protected move in NJ.
what in the fuck is this
Any finish that doesn't win a match on the first attempt is a shitty finish.
>it works
It's a work.
Because youre stupid. Every cop in the world is taught wristhold takedowns for a reason.
How many proxies do you need to samefag from before you make yourself feel better Dean? Shouldn't you be off somewhere starting a fake wolfcuck thread?
Jesus just toss him back a bit further and do a cutter on him
>gives himself Christian's inverted DDT
It's no worse than an RKO. He's just grabbing the torso instead of the neck/head
That ain't no Rainmaker, Rainmaker has to come from the ripcord drag and is over as fuck because it's been sold as one of the most devastating moves you can be hit by. Even something as simple as a clothesline when booked like an atomic bomb will be seen as an atomic bomb
Cesaro ought to just do a European Uppercut, as silly as that sounds. Do the Pop-Up one to small guys, and the Corkscrew Springboard one to big guys.
I don't get the hate for this one. He's basically giving their chest a cutter. Probably knocks the wind right out of you, in kayfabe.
He cant even powermove anyone though.
Stan Hansen's was the best. He looked like he could legitimately kill someone with it.
Yeah if the ring isnt a trampoline. Makes every impact finisher look like a joke.
I hate how modern wrestlers try to invent new finishers (always look like garbage) or try to depower finishers into signature moves and up-power signature moves into finishers.
Vince doesnt allow strong style.
That makes no sense though. An RKO is supposed to knock the opponent out, because it's driving their chin into the mat. With the Big Ending, the opponent can brace the impact with his hands by either holding his head or slapping the mat. Meanwhile, all this weight has just crashed on Medium E's shoulder. It really just look like the opponent is falling on to Nig E.
Deep Six is really fucking great.
Best finisher ever
Oh no he did a spin how will they ever recover
the spanish fly and that stupid corner hung double stomp that del rio does. also, while im at it, pretty much any flip move other than the moonsault
both look like shit
Presented without comment.
Looks good except it’s unrealistic as fuck
Cringe. It's literally the opposite. On a smaller guy Cesaro just picks those simps like feather and slams them like dirt its so satisfying.
The opponent does the spin user..
a power bomb would look better
not really his finisher though its just a highspot
>landing on your flat back to break the fall vs landing face first
Doesn't help that it's on the simps of all simps. It literally looks like his opponent is giving him a DDT.
powerbomb is still looks better.
if you're gonna spend the time with a set up like the neutralizer or the clash you might as well just piledrive the mf. it looks like a wasted opportunity and someone could easily jump right back up from a move like that.
Lariatos are far more over in Japan
>unexpectedly pulled in
>struck in the chest while being pulled
Very simple
a lot of new japan finishers are kinda lame
everything is evil, moxley's ddt, blade runner, kamagoye, ebd claw, skull end
i would say the high fly flow too but ace is too based and every time he hits it there's a story to it
Shittiest crossface chickenwing I've ever seen
Point still stands
>He looked like he could legitimately kill someone with it.
He once broke a guys neck with it in the NWA.
Also Hansen & Gordy was a GOAT tag team.
Ishii's '''''''''''''''brianbuster'''''''''''' sucks
Here you go.
that's because he was almost blind so half the time his lariats hit his opponents face
looks waaaay better than the end of days
Agreed. I'm surprised someone hasn't stolen it yet and renamed it. Dean Malenko did a version of this years ago and it was awesome.
Drew's claymore kick is fucking garbage. it's a fallaway thigh slapper. also no one in wwe knows how to sell strikes so it almost always looks like shit. why give a big roided up dude like that a strike finisher instead of a power slam? fucking stupid
Found the virgin.
It's just a suplex, doing the ballerina twirl actually makes it less effective.
Wait, that's not what's happening here?
because of his size i can suspend disbelief for it. speaking of the powerslam tho, braun needs a better finish because a basic powerslam is just too generic
Fuck you to the highest order. The Shouten Kai is amazing.
>submission finishers
I'll give Ken Shamrocks a pass though
the move is the shits tho, guy
Yeah agree but speaking of Goto that GTR is fucking wack. Shouten Kai should be his big game finisher and his regular finish should just be his lariat or PK imo. GTR should just be a PK setup.
shamrock is/was/ and always will be based. the only one who came close to being another him was angle
It's the presentation though that makes it look good. This is wrestling. Effectiveness has nothing to do with pro wrestling you stupid mark.
t.
this move fucking sucks and the shitty bucklebomb he always does right before it is even worse
youtube.com
Lamest of the lame:
Seth Rollins has the worst moveset and finisher on the roster and it's not even close
Does Seethe Tarpins even use the curb stomp anymore?
I actually think this is fucking based but his execution leaves a lot to be desired.
He used to do the Ricola Bomb
Which to be honest, really is better than the Neutralizer, but I guess the Neutralizer allows him to show his power by lifting the Giant Khali or the Big Show while I doubt he could really do that Ricola Bomb on them
That's a counter though. He countered the dude's finisher(powerbomb), into his own(yoshi tonic).
Bro I love a STO.
I can't hate Everything is Evil.
Actually I think ALWAYS doing the spin setup is kinda dumb and he should try doing that shit running, but I like it overall.
its still a backbreaker with a ballerina twirl it's gay as fuck
*back suplex
Can you please stop using the word gay as an insult?
no, gay things are gay.
I like Everything is Evil but a regular STO when you're not a Judo Olympian like Ogawa was, and also you're a manlet, does seem kinda underpowered. He should do the Kakihara version with the foot sweep that dumps the opponent on their neck, or at least pretend to put more oomph into it even if the sell is the same.
The GTS is pretty dumb looking no matter who does it.
neutralizer is likely easier on the back too
"I know! Let's stand on the turnbuckle together, I'll do a backflip and you'll do a frontflip, I'll land on my stomach and you'll land on your back, and somehow you'll be hurt and I'll be just fine even though we both jumped and landed in the same spots together. I know we won't be giving the viewer any rationale for how I'm delivering an offensive move at all, but it's two flips from the top rope!"
For me, it just doesn’t fit his whole persona. In his promos he always says how he wants to dominate and hurt people and he’s got the best physique in the company and is also one of the tallest. It’d make so much more sense for him to have some kind of power slam as a finisher. Imagine him with a pump handle power slam or sit down power bomb
His head never comes close to the mat, ya ding-dong diddly simp.
Shad of all people has a good STO
It's like a moonsault but you're making someone fly with you
It has some logic when you think like that
Why doesn't someone do a piledriver off the top rope that would be cool
right... resting your arm on their shoulder is reasonable for making them flip as well
>but you're making someone fly with you
How though. If I drape your arm over my shoulder then do a flip, why would you do a flip. I'd just do a flip and you'd just stand there.
Bro, the Canadian Destroyer.
I thought around the late 00's and beginning of the 10's we, the viewers and the wrestlers, have made the collective decision to only let Petey Williams do the Destroyer.
But in the last 5 years there has been a rampant increase of Destroyers in this business. I blame all the recent Lucha guys making the waves in America.
It's like a super flippy Rock Bottom.
I dunno, I prefer the fall away version, but the Spanish Fly doesn't really bother me I guess.
who better than Kanyon?
youtu.be
Kanyon went to my HS. We marked out back in the day when we saw him on TV. Shit was cash
Imagine risking your fucking neck being broken directly in half in front of a VFW crowd who’s just there to drink away Vietnam.
Bayley to Belly
Yeah p good. Anyone remember Kenzo Suzuki's clawhold STO? That was a great variation I have never seen before or since. Simple, pretty safe, and you really got the impression the opponents head was being smashed into the mat.
Tensai had a wacky Claw STO variation
Bros I liked Tensai, he didn't deserve the treatment he got.
this.
Belly-to-belly is already fairly weak looking, but Bayley does a pretty poor one.
Face defeat
Oh shit Big Cass went to my HS too. My HS just keeps pumping out shit wrestlers who eventually commit suicide.
Yeah what the fuck bro. We all agreed it was terrible as soon as we saw it, then we made a concession for Petey after a little while because we were like okay I guess it's fine if you do it, it's protected and over and shit. Now you see them in the middle of WWE matches and shit.
Fucking mexicans.
Yeah but she knows, rather she knew, how to work it into the story of a match.
Bayley vs Sasha at Brooklyn was 5*
Mojo Rawley's Hyperdrive. Nigga you ain't Earthquake.
youtu.be
if Bayley upgrades her finish to the Steiner Swinging Belly to Belly, I'd be fine with it
youtu.be
This looks Excellent with a heavy guy.
Dudes, I blame myself. I was too lenient on destroyers.
First time I saw a destroyer I thought it was cool, but then I quickly realized how stupid it is and how everyone was fucking doing it.
But the business grew with me and we just stopped doing them. But then I started to gave inch for them thinking like "Oh, I guess Petey can do it", "oh that setup isn't so bad", "eh, its fine, it's from the tope rope, at least the dude doesn't jump to it", "It's okay, it's a lucha thing"
But then this shit ends with Adam Cole doing the most inane stupid variation of the Canadian Destroyer in the main event of a WWE show. I hate myself for allowing this cancer to fester
new contender: Duggan's 3-point stance. One of the worst clotheslines I've ever seen, and it's supposed to put people down
youtu.be
I like the three point setup desu
This is just Baron Corbin giving himself a spinning bulldog. With that being Ziggler, that easily could've been a spinning Zig Zag.
this may be an unpopular opinion, but the widow's peak is shit. why would the "victim" in this move voluntarily lock their legs in position?
Gory bomb is shit as well.
then what do you call jbl's finisher?
any move where the victim cooperation is completely blatant.
stratusfaction is a clear example of this
oy vey... yeah, try to do that in a real fight bro
yikes
>blaming women
their job is to look sexy, that's it
If you really start paying attention, like 90% of finishers have the victim aiding in some way. The Goldberg/Undertaker fight is a good example of what happens when they don't aid you
>"I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT WAS"
no shit, dude. the point is to disguise it as much as you can. I'm making the point that when the cooperation reaches the point of being ridiculous, you should re-think what you're doing.
>The Goldberg/Undertaker fight is a good example of what happens when they don't aid you
And it looked brutal as fuck which is a good thing.
lol I don't know why but this has me laughing. I guess because I don't associate Cody with MEWVZ wrestling and yet when he tries his hand at it we end up with this.
Because piledrivers while simply standing are dangerous enough.
you fuckin homo...
They should have just tried to make his original finisher safer, that reverse chokeslam where he would just slam people right on their face was pretty based.
I love the STO too, but it is NOT a finisher.
The Canadian Destroyer when done by anyone lighter than Hulk Hogan.(Meaning every wrestler that's ever done it)
Reddit faggot
Benoit used to do a pretty sick piledriver from the top rope. He fucking killed it with this move.
youtube.com
>Canadian destroyer
>used by the japs
huh
if you can't execute your move without it being painfully obvious that you don't want to hurt your opponent, i think that's a sign you shouldn't be doing it.
Every time Sasha Banks climbs the turnbuckle is a tragedy for the wrestling business.
Whoos, didn't mean to point that at you.
I love that the Mick DDT is basically an inversion of this move though, since Mickie is an inversion of Trish.
This wouldn't be too bad if it was just a set up for the codebreaker
That’s just a backstabber
>I'm going to drop my opponent on top of me in such a fashion that he is very capable of breaking his fall with his legs so he doesn't land ribcage first!
Yeah, no problem with that at all. Just a fucking big ole Rhyno type powerslam would be a VAST improvement. Not everything has to reinvent the goddamn wheel.
doesn't help he's a fat lard
AND he has managed to break at least two necks with it. I love AJ, but literally every signature move he has ever done makes for a better finisher than the fucking Styles Clash
That's just a Canadian Destroyer with a retarded set up.
That's the "Rock Bottoms Himself" meme, but it reverse.
>The actual rainmaker with the spin is the most protected move in NJ.
a few people have kicked out of the full power rainmaker. I think Tana, Naito and Omega. No one in NJ ever kicked out of the One Winged Angel tho.
Isn't that just a Spanish Fly from the top rope? It's not a bad move in itself, as a sort of flippy take down. But that's best used if you can do it from a standing position, not a top rope spot. No reason to not just do a superplex in that spot.
Idk if anyone has said it but
This shit looks stupid
>Drops his body weight on you while driving you face first into the mat
I never got the hate for the unprettier. It looks like it would legitimately fuck you up real bad.
If he wasn't in WWE he could make it a spinning or swinging backdrop driver, like Kevin Owens' old sidewinder but you turn the other way.
Cody literally never hit this and made it looks good. If you are so deathly afraid of hurting your opponent how about you just dont even bother with a Cop Killer? Fucking retard.
It just never looks that good. The move is entirely on the guy taking it to look good, if they are too pussy to take a flat face bump then it never works.
Middle rope.
Bro, a Canadian Destroyer done by a big man is going to look even worse imo.
Don't worry, i will use real fighting moves, like the pedigree
>Haha. Imagine if you were such an e drone that you didn't know who Kenny Omega was and had never seen a lariat before and didn't understand why someone would sell it the way lariats have been sold for 20 years in other promotions.
>What a champion.
youtube.com
I find that it's all about the sweeping motion of the leg
I don't really hate the move, but I think we can chill with all the reverse STOs for a while.
At least transition that kind of shit into the Koji Clutch
Holy ding-dong diddly worked
Seek employment
He never leaves his feet until he takes a small back bump. He's never lifted, he's never slammed. Fuck you're stupid.
Yeah this is the kind of move that should happen like once in a while.
AJ Styles is GOAT but the Styles Clash is the dumbest looking move ever.
It looks like a failed swing dancing move crossed with a reverse russian leg sweep.
No, that shit is gay and so are you
Pretending that spin out somehow adds 8 gorillion pounds of force to a standard short arm clothesline is fucking tedious.
Doesn't help that Evil has a pretty bad one too, but even that isn't finisher material. Looks great but... not as a finisher.
Wait, seriously? A back fucking elbow?
Cena killed the destroyer beyond any semblance of repair.
Kanyon was drastically underrated, at least in the ring.
The end product is fine it's the setup which is awful. It takes a painfully long time to get there and it looks almost impossible to not escape, it just requires a lot of suspension of disbelief to get to the good stuff.
I like JBL's Clothesline from Hell which is basically the WWE version
Swear to the lord I got hit by a pedigree in the hot summer of 2006, I was 10, and my lil buddy was a fat fuck, we were doing backyard wrestling. Again, lil guy was fucking heavy, probably cte'd myself that day, bruised my forehead, but I felt the worst in my freaking neck
Btw, I have no need to lie in the internet, in an anonymous forum
this always looked like he was getting a stinger inverted DDT. dumbest finisher I cant believe he hasnt changed it after all these years
I feel like some kind of pumphandle slam would be a good finisher for him. Hell, nobody does Ron Simmons' Dominator anymore, use that.
The spin is theatrics like the peoples elbow and it adds force to the slam I guess. There would be less momentum with the deep six if he just picked him and dropped him.
its called a slop drop
Code red, retard
Look, you didn't take it from hunter himself. No need to protect the business for some mark. The pedigree sucks.
What was Cesaros finisher in the indies? He didn't use this shit there right
>lame finishers thread
>not a single person talking about the Stone Cold Stunner
so piledrivers actually attack the knees?
here's some science backing up its basedness
youtu.be
Such a retarded set up.
I can't remember who does it, but there's a guy that sets it up as such but keeps his hands on the opponents hands to keep them in position. And another guy I seen do it in ICW laid the guy across the ropes parallel so it didn't look so blatant.
Always the best one in these threads.
If you could read it clearly says "current wrestler"
Holy fuck I can't watch this, the host makes Lance Storm look like a fucking hurricane of personality and charm.
Not really
>muh hunter
I was talking about the PEDIGREE, ya simp, stop disapproving anything related to hunter
god damn niggers do some stupid shit
>he was almost blind
worked
As someone who actually takes bumps, this looks like it murders your spine.
If he would just drop to his ass so its more of a gut buster on his shoulder it wouldn't be that bad.
Coup de Grace
Sister Abigail
Lars Sullivan's Freak Accident or whatever you call it
Belly to Bailey
Disarm her
Bank Statement
The Bella Twins finishers (every single one they've done)
Hammerlock DDT
I like his claymore kick, but i also wish he kept future shock ddt. He made a DDT look absolutely devestating whenever he hit it
The Midnight Hour masks just how truly bad this move is as a singles finish. youtu.be
There’s no way you can shoot the Big Ending without it looking stupid.
The way he does the reverse GTR lately actually looks like a finish.
The Rainmaker.
A "finisher" that has to be done 10 times in a match is, by definition of the word, not a finisher.
Jesus chrisr, Kenneth wound back for his run into it. Okada just fell forward
Shower; pronto.
cringr
Benoit's crossface. There, I said it.
>coup de grace
>literally jumping from the top rope to do a double stomp when IRL just a normal double stomp could kill someone
>stupid
???
The reason this is bad and hokey is that everyone is doing it wrong. The guy who popularized this was Low Ki, who is an autistic psycho that everyone hates working with because of how obsessive he is. They way he started doing it was by clearly stomping and grinding his boot into peoples kneecaps when they were in the tree of woe, causing them to sit up and grab their knees in pain/grab at his feet, which is when he would counter their situp with the stomp. This holding the rope shit is retarded.
you mean deep sex
what the fuck is this. Jay White was looking amazing in the G1 til i saw this.
>takes your finisher on his knee in your path
It looks like a really lazy figure four or something.
hansen was based
He's half assed attempt also spiked Ibushi and probably gave himself back problems.
What in the fuck is he trying to do here?
the deep six is so fucking aesthetic compared to end of days god damn
Hurricane-style vertibreaker
rey mysterio's 619. Nobody ever falls on the ropes except when he is in the match, its so dumb
Because if they don’t their head will dislocate from their neck the way Victoria is holding it, duh.
what a collection of shit takes
I will literally fight anyone who shits on the EBD claw
benoit's crossface was based though
>he thinks piledrivers are dangerous
They broke their own necks lol
Look up the "D.O.A" from that shitty IMPACT game. I swear to god I wish Mysterio or another lightweight would try to practice this shit and make it somewhat possible. That shit is BASED AF. youtube.com
Y'all can hate on this spot all you want. I remember vividly coming home from work on the night shift with my friends that I lived with watching this live and throwing my hat at the TV marking out when this exact spot happened. I'll always mark for the rainmaker. Kenny sold it like death. This match will always be my favorite between the 4.
Does anyone have a link to that vid/webm/gif of stan hansen running the ropes and knocking over that japanese geisha chick?
I just assumed Rey was the one doing that to set up the 619
Bayley to belly
it works when he does set it up. but come on how many times have you seen multi man matches where everyone starts falling on the ropes even though you never see that in any other match. Its dumb!
Ricola Bomb(Straightjacked Powerbomb)
Pretty based desu
Its a kneebar figure 4.
Bayley is just awful in every aspect.
I still have no idea how she is still employed.
This guy was fucking Awesome. Photogentic Chris Bosh!!!
Austin Theory finisher has to be seen to be believed. It's the definition of a contrived Indy finisher
>Austin Theory
cringe name
Cringe wrestler to be honest
Whats going on here
I looked for other clips of it and im still confused
Crossface and the Ankle Lock always looked brutal
Absolute state of your shit taste.
youtube.com
I thought Benoits finisher was a choke.
Pretty sure a front bump is worse than a back bump in kayfabe so this is safer than the Rock Bottom
>everything is evil
yeah this on kind of sucks
>moxley's ddt
based
>blade runner
based
>kamagoye
based as fuck
>ebd claw, skull end
toppest of lels
This is a typical NJPW finisher though. If you look at it a lot of these strong style guys have finishers which are simply punching/kneeing/elbowing your opponent in the head.
same with that new Damian guy from NXT. But Elias is a shitter through and through. I don't think the dumbass can pull off any good power move without botching 7/10 times
I want a Rock versus Baron Corbin match where the announcers try in vain to figure out which one did his finisher.
Goto gtr
Every finisher that looks like the opponent reversed it when you're doing it normally is automatically in the worst possible tier.
He should have used his other finisher more. The one where he just strangles you with a cord.
What about the pedigree? Gay name and it was basically a piledriver without picking the guy up.
It’s even gayer because haitch does it. Seth did it better, unironically
It's a reverse STO but with an extra flip
It works because she is a "hugger". Her finisher involves her hugging the opponent.
Everything Adam Cole does
From the Canadian Destroyer to his shitty knee, that dude is my very own personal anti draw
Fuck this guy is so overrated. Definition of “I do falsies so I’m good”
>1-2-kick out
>E-Drone retards act shocked everytime.
this guy was just talking to gronk about a future in the wwe as though he has one
>Recipient holds himself up for 30 seconds while the attacker sets up, wobbling around and waiting to jump so he doesn't actually hurt the dude he's jumping on.
>crowd reaction:
>holy shit-holy shit
It didn't finish Becky Lynch
>His fighting Style
>Drunk Father
Man more big guys need to do this
The small guys just can't make this look good
The Asshole Splash
It is actually worse when done from standing, as you can't use the instability/springiness if the ropes as an excuse as to why you'd let someone flip you.
